The artist's statement:
I honor my Mexican family and culture through art. My viewpoints are from a woman's perspective. Like most women, I am very busy. I create art, care for my family and teach learning challenged children. My University degree was in Bacteriology. I also earned Masters Degrees in Theater Arts and in Educational Administration. At Immaculate Heart College I was influenced by the wonderful serigraph teacher and artist, Sister Corita Kent. I admire her political convictions and her use of words, imagery and brilliant washes of colors to convey visual messages of hope.
My art is narrative, it tells stories of my life, I see my work as hopeful. Despite deaths, illness and close calls with death, I believe life is worth it, it is worthwhile because life is a gift of love from our parents and our grandparents. This reality of love is what we see in the beloved. This precious one is always on my mind, "Siempre En Mi Mente."
Why do I paint? I create art because it is my passion and human necessity.
